DayNinety Two of My Health Journey

Well, I am up five pounds again. Wednesday I went to see my doctor, and my lungs were pretty congested so she gave me a round of Prednisone, which is a steroid and causes weight gain. So here I am, adding back to what I had taken off, but no worries - I'm sure it will be off again soon. On the positive side - my lungs are feeling better than they have felt for a long time!

I am trying to remember what I had when. School has my mind so jumbled that it's a wonder I remember anything, but I'll do my best.

Thursday I had plums and peaches.



Some juice... freshly made. This has lots of beets in it! See how red it is?



A salad with a piece of chicken to the side...



Friday I had a smoothie...





Some fried okra and a half of a baked sweet potato.



Some plums and raw peas...



Some more okra...



Lo mein...



and watermelon...



Saturday I had a smoothie...



Some wrapper things - I don't know what they are really called. My husband put cheese, mushrooms and onions in them and wrapped them up and fried them.



Then I made a drink with 2 pears and the juice of a pound of tangerines with a little ice. This was YUMMY!!!







While I was making this I took a photo of the new dishes my husband bought, which I had to wash. They aren't new, but they are new to me. He got the whole set for $5.00. I told him they are ugly, but I'm not picky. :) We gave about half of them away though, because the set was too many for us.



For supper last night we had more wrapper things. We are having more tonight. We are trying to get rid of all of the cooked food in the house.



For snack we had grapes...



and zucchini chips (dehydrated).



For breakfast today we had a smoothie...



And I made some toasted pita chips for later to have with a salad. I don't like pita bread unless it's toasted, so I toasted it to get rid of it. It's been sitting here for a few days.

I just cut them up into pieces...



and get some olive oil and add some spices to it (paprika, curry, turmeric, blended herbs, steak seasoning, etc.) and brush it onto the pita, and let it bake just until it's a little crispy.





They will be yummy. I had about three just to test them. :)

And I just now finished the best smoothie made from a banana, frozen durian and frozen strawberries (with filtered water).



It was so think, cold and refreshing, just like a milkshake, but without the dairy! :) YUMMY!



Please check back again in a few days. Hopefully I will have lost some of this steroid-induced weight.
